Going in for my first fill...

Hello! I am new to this forum and have no idea how to navigate. I'm not even sure I'll be able to find this thread once I exit. ugh...

I had my surgery July 16th and would LOVE to find others who had their surgery around the same date. It would be great to know if what I am experiencing is normal. Does anyone know how I can find this?

I'm going in for my first fill in two days. I was really excited at first, but now I'm nervous. Here's why...I was feeling great until I had a little fight with a piece of bread. Learned my lesson, yes, but every since then I've been sore again. Even eating cottage cheese, I can feel it go through the band.

My concern is this...isn't the upper pouch supposed to fill up, make you feel full, and make you stop eating? So how is it that it hurts when things go through? Will it hurt even worse after a fil?? I'm so concerned. Of course I will talk to my surgeon about this, but in the mean time, looking to ease my nerves.

Someone help?? :blink:

I was banded July 10th, so relatively close to the 16th. And I went for my first fill yesterday!! I was nervous too but it was a piece of cake, she had me do a little exercise like lift my legs up slightly or my head slightly to flex my abdominal muscles so she could feel my port!! So easy!!! After that I don't think I will ever be nervous for a fill again!!! So now I am on liquids, yesterday and today and then mushies thursday and friday then back to normal food!! I'd be glad to answer any questions that you have if i can!! And I am sure that your fill will go smoothly!! Good Luck!!:blink:

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
